Any reason in particular for going for two 670s in SLI as opposed to a stronger single GPU?

Fair enough. I think sli 670s are the best value for money high performance gpu setup currently available. That's what the voices in my head tell me at least.

For 3d gaming I would suggest a sli set up. You could downgrade the motherboard to the non-pro version and ditch the SSD to lower the cost.
